[drivingpairs] Re: The Flying Frenchman - hollowbacked expressionless?



I'm not smart enough to figure out how to save it either.   Bummer too
because I'm on a slow dial up it takes about an hour and a half to download.
I don't watch many video's obviously that way.    I wonder how long it will
be before he has some DVD's out in the US?  I'd love to watch an hour of
that.  Beautiful horses, excitement, lights, flash, (okay - athletic cute
young guy) - I'm ready to be entertained - heck yes!

Jeanine, this is exactly what I saw also.  I have only watched it  about 25
times, I keep seeing more every time that I watch it. The younger children 
sure like it.   Now, if only I could figure out how to save it.
It just goes to show you how high you can raise the bar in training your
horse.
